The director of national intelligence's move to scale back election security briefings to Congress has enraged congressional Democrats
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is scaling back its election security briefings to Congress, according to two sources familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by POLITICO.
Sen. Marco Rubio, acting chair of the Senate intelligence committee, and Sen. Mark Warner, the committee's vice chairman, released separate statements on the administration's decision, with Rubio excoriating those who leak classified information while urging Ratcliffe to "continue to fulfill" his obligations to fully brief Congress, and Warner casting the decision as "outrageous" and "an unprecedented attempt to politicize" the issue.
During a roundtable in Orange, Texas, on Saturday, Trump blamed House Democrats for leaking information. Biden, meanwhile, said in a statement the move was "nothing less than a shameless partisan manipulation to protect the personal interests of President Trump."
